Beginner Tip
Before you ask a question about WordPress on a forum, Twitter or Facebook group, do a search about your issue. !There is a very good chance that your issue has been addressed and answered somewhere.
And a warning!
Be careful when downloading free themes, plugins or widgets that are not in the WordPress repository. !Check the reputation of the developers and website.
